Aichan and Aika Haul

So I haven't lately told you about my new approach to buying H!P goods.  I've recently decided to stick to my oshimem (obviously Aika), and buy mostly her goods, instead of spending excess money on other members goods that I don't care for as much.

New Direction for Smileage

So first off, let's talk about S/mileage's new single Tachi Agaaru, shall we?  Since one support beams of S/mileage has decided to part with us, the foundation of the group has been rested on the remaining three full fledged members, along with a sprinkling of sub-member.  The whole single can be personified in a picture, since it of course, says a thousand words:


What i'm trying to get at is that the lines were distributed fairly between Kanon, Dawa, and Yuuka, and that's about it.  The sub members barely had a chance to scrape in, only opening their mouths during the WOW YEAH portions of the song.  They didn't even sing along to the chorus!  I found that rather ridiculous, since they've gone through so much already.  I know, I know, they aren't full s/mileage members, yet, and that's where their smile campaign comes in.  I mean, it's only fair right?  If the original 4nin had to gather up 10,000 smile's to debut, the shin members should as well!  I hope they can accomplish this daunting feat.


The sub-members are to S/mileage what S/mileage was to Mano Erina before they got their chance to debut. They participated in the singles, as background dancers and occasional WOW YEAHS!  For what it's worth, it's a step closer to their transition to full members.  From what I've witnessed so far, it seems like a great accomplishment and obstacle at the same time to become a member of S/mileage.  To give the subbies some more credit though, I've heard that they did a fantastic job at their first concert (the Mini Skirt Tour), so I do have high hopes for them!  I'll send them a smile~

Here's the full PV, courtesy of smileagechannel on YouTube:



Also, to be honest, it looks like they're dancing on one of the board maps of a Mario Party game...the music fits too! lol

Sekaiichi Happy na Onna no Ko Profile Pictures

HelloProject has updated profile pictures on their website for C-ute's new single Sekaiichi Happy na Onna no ko.  Here's what they look like now:  I find it rather strange and amusing how the profile pictures/CD jacket outfits have NOTHING to do with the PV!  I find that weird.  Others might not.




 Seriously what are these outfits?  WHERE IS THE CREATIVITY?  THE PASSION? Well I guess the creativity exploded in the PV.  I swear it's like a kawii rainbow unicorn threw up on them there.  It might have blinded the designers into making simple white looks for the CD cover, so we would be totally unexpected to see da rainbowz in the PV.





OK hi Nakky Mrs.NoShorts.  The next thing that I noticed when looking at these profile pictures was that it seems that Airi has stolen a pair of my underpants.  They look better on me her.  Also, since when did Chisa dye her hair that shade of brown?  I didn't notice it before.  Maybe it's all the blinding white in these pictures.  In addition, I always  thought that S/mileage was supposed to be the "legs" group.  What's going on Tsunku?

He must of had one thing on his mind.  It's the kind of thing that seems to be on many of our minds I'd assume.  Especially with these outfits.  C-UTE PILLOW FIGHT!

CAN I GET A WHAT WHAT?

Sekai Ichi Happy na Onna no ko

C-ute newest single's PV was released earlier, and I wanted to give my thoughts on it.  For starters, I thought it was a great PV with LOTS OF COLORS.



I didn't listen to the song until the PV came out, so I was in for a surprise when I opened the video.  The first thing I obviously noticed were that there were many colors lol.  It was nice to see that the girls donned appropriately colored outfits for the single.  That's something that's usually only seen in concerts, so it was a nice touch to add to a PV.



What I also really liked in the PV (which I noticed first in Maimi which I fell in love with), was the strands of color in the girls hair.  I thought that was a nice flare, and it looked exceptionally good on Maimi.



I found the song to have a nice ring to it, and I really liked the solo's that were more or less evenly distributed.  Also that one line that Maimi sings really quickly is awesome.  That's one of my favorite parts.



Even though this is your typical standardized Hello!Project PV, I love it no less.  It's the singers that make the video great, not necessarily how high the PV budget was (which is something that apparently matters to a lot of fans, don't know why).  I found that the idea for the individually colored rooms were creative and innovative.  The outfits were a bit frilly for my liking, seeing as the skirts are as wide as umbrellas.  I'm not too fond of the accessories on each of their heads, especially Chisa's hideous green cowboy hat!



It also made me laugh thinking about how and where they found so many articles of furniture, accessories, books, and notebooks to match to one color.  That must of been such a pain to put together.  It all did come together well in my opinion though.  The way they spelled out HAPPY was a nice touch too.  It was really cute, even though Berryz pulled a similar stunt in their Tomodachi wa Tomodachi Nanda PV, except used photographs, and spelled out FRIENDS.  Whatever, i'm not complaining.



So all in all, I actually really like this single, and I think it will sell well!  It's a very cute direction for C-ute, and it's very happy and bubbly.  So far this is two kawaii songs in a row.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for another Kiss Me Aishiteru hit next!


Wait that's not right....

Hangry&Angry New Single!

Wow, after over a year and a half since their second single, Top Secret, Hangry & Angry are finally coming out with their 3rd single!  I'm so excited!  I was rather surprised that they have been so musically inactive, seeing how many times they've traveled and made appearances.


In April of 2009, Hangry & Angry appeared at Sakuracon as their overseas debut.  Then, in July 2009, Yossie (as Hangry) was a guest of honor at the Los Angeles Anime Expo.  Later that year in November, their album Sadistic Dance was released, and a month later, their second single Top Secret.



 
 Their activity in 2010 has been minimal.  This past May of 2011, Hangry & Angry appeared at the Japan Expo in Paris to perform.

And surprisingly, tomorrow, their new single Reconquista is going to be released as an iTunes download! The CD release date is August 10th.  I can't wait!
